How can existing genebanks in Europe operate more rationally if the available financial and human resources remain at their current capacity? One of the ways to improve efficiency and effectiveness and to ensure rational ex situ conservation and use of plant genetic resources in Europe is through...

Biological diversity encompasses all the variation in living things on Earth. Part is used by people to meet their needs for food, shelter, medicines, building materials and so on. That portion is usually referred to as agricultural biodiversity. Bioversity International exists to conduct researc...
Desde el comienzo de los años setenta, la FAO y el IBPGR colaboran para reforzar las actividades nacionales de la conservación ex situ de los recursos fitogenéticos, inclusive la elaboración de acuerdos y el desarrollo de actividades de red con las instituciones que han aceptado la responsabilida...

A study of the impact of the in-trust agreements demonstrated the importance of a clear legal environment for the genebanks. Requests for repatriation of rice germplasm from the International Rice Research Institute peaked in 1994, during the period of uncertainty. This coincided with a period of...

There is growing recognition that successful adaptation of agricultural production systems to
changes in climate will depend upon the improved access to, and use of, genetic diversity. In
order to facilitate this adaptation, new forms of interdisciplinary research, new technologies,
novel part...

The regeneration of germplasm resources is an integral part of the conservation programme. This study is directed towards the strategy and tactics of seed regeneration and multiplication by sexual reproduction in relation to problems of maintaining the genetic constitution of the original sampled...
